²⁶ For You write bitter things against me [in Your bill of indictment] and make me inherit and be accountable now for the iniquities of my youth.

²⁷ You put my feet also in the stocks and observe critically all my paths; You set a circle and limit around the soles of my feet [which I must not overstep].
